Personally, I don't care too much - this is very interesting to me. I have thought about completing my education for years but been put of by the time commitment and cost. For me it's about gaining academic and self-disciplinary skills, not so much about the letters. I am bad with long-term horizons, so the ability to focus on the goal rather than the time commitment - and save money while doing so - is huge to me.

Four full courses in 2 months... amazing. I wonder how many of these credits are transferable?
Edit: It appears there are currently nine courses that can be taken for transfer credit. http://www.straighterline.com/courses/
EDIT: accreditation via some partners, varying flexibility: http://www.straighterline.com/about/partners/partner-college...
